Solutions · MIS & Reporting
ArchFlow builds custom MIS software for Indian businesses that have outgrown Excel. The MIS sits on top of your live workflow — quotation, production, dispatch — so reports and dashboards generate themselves from work already happening. No re-entry, no month-old sheets: numbers that are true and live, on one screen.
Where it breaks
Somewhere in your office sits the MIS person — chasing department heads for sheets, merging formats, fixing formulas. The report lands days into the next month, and when they take leave, the company flies blind. That is a bottleneck, not a system.
Sales says 62 orders dispatched. Dispatch says 58. Accounts has invoiced 51. The monthly review becomes an argument about whose Excel is right, and the real question — why did dispatches slip — never gets asked. Numbers that disagree are worse than no numbers.
By the time the MIS PDF reaches the director, the stuck order has been stuck ten days and the dealer's payment has aged another week. Leadership steers a crore-scale operation through the rear-view mirror — and finds out when the customer calls.
What we build for you
Every role gets its own screen: directors see the whole business, department heads see their queue, coordinators see today's exceptions. Numbers update as work happens — nobody compiles anything, ever.
Daily and weekly digests build themselves from live operations — orders, production, dispatch, collections — and reach leadership on email or WhatsApp, on schedule. The month-end compilation ritual stops existing.
Every number opens. Dispatch looks low? Click from the KPI to the state, the dealer, the exact stuck order — which stage it is sitting at, and since when.
An MIS should interrupt you, not wait to be read. Quotations silent past their follow-up date, orders stuck at one stage too long, payments ageing past terms — flagged the day it happens.
The director's MIS lives on the phone: today's enquiries, dispatches, collections and stuck points, glanceable between site visits and meetings. No laptop, no calling the office for numbers.
Finance reporting aligned with Tally and GST invoicing, tied to the same orders operations tracks. Billing, outstanding and dealer-wise collections reconcile with the factory's numbers because they share one source.
ArchFlow runs the full 14-stage order lifecycle at Pranav Doors & Windows — a premium fenestration manufacturer in Chandigarh with 10 departments, 100+ employees and operations across 5+ states — daily since 2024. Its directors read live numbers, not compiled sheets. First modules were live in weeks one and two, full deployment by week four. Co-founder Tanishq Trehan is a director there.
Common questions
MIS software — management information system software — collects data from a business's daily operations and turns it into the reports and dashboards leadership uses to run the company: sales, production, dispatch, collections, outstanding. In most Indian SMEs, the 'MIS' is actually a person compiling Excel sheets every month. ArchFlow builds the MIS on top of your live workflow instead, so reports generate themselves from work that is already recorded.
There is no fixed price — ArchFlow scopes every MIS project individually, so the cost depends on which reports leadership needs, how many departments feed them, and whether the underlying workflow moves onto the platform too. Weigh it against what the Excel MIS already costs: a full-time person compiling numbers that arrive stale. Talk to us — you will have a clear scope before any commitment.
An ERP runs the work — orders, production, inventory and accounts move through it as transactions. MIS software reports on the work — dashboards and summaries for decision-makers. In practice, an Indian SME buying 'MIS' needs both halves connected, because reports are only as true as the operational data underneath. ArchFlow builds them as one platform: the workflow generates the transactions, and the MIS layer reads them live, so nothing is compiled or re-entered.
The best MIS software for manufacturers is one that reads from live operations instead of asking anyone to enter data. Generic MIS dashboard software fails on factory floors because it needs clean, current data — and a factory run on Excel has neither. ArchFlow is an MIS software company that builds the operational workflow first — enquiry, quotation, production, dispatch — then the MIS on top, so every number a director sees traces to a real order at a real stage.
Yes — if the MIS sits on the system where work actually happens. When quotations, production, dispatch and collections run on one platform, daily and weekly MIS reports compile themselves: a digest in leadership's inbox every morning, dashboards live all day. What cannot be automated is an MIS built on Excel, because someone still has to collect and re-type the sheets. Automating the report means moving the workflow, not just the report.
Yes. In most Indian businesses the finance MIS lives in Tally and the operations MIS lives in Excel — and the two never agree. ArchFlow builds MIS report software that reads both sides: operational numbers from the live workflow, finance numbers aligned with Tally and GST invoicing, in one set of reports. Sales, dispatch, billing and outstanding finally reconcile, because they come from a single order thread instead of separate sheets.
